Notes:
The best yields and productivities of 0.38 g · g-1 and 0.35 g · l-1 h-1, respectively, for the propionic acid production in a batchsystem using sugar-cane final molasses as carbon source were obtained when an initial TRS concentration of 50 g · l-1 was used.It was obvious that this process is severely inhibited by the acids produced and the most drastic effect (μ = 0) was at a TVA concentration near to 250 mmol · l-1, independently of the initial TRS concentration employed.A generalizated equation of noncompetitive inhibition was adjusted: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$\mu = \frac{{\mu _{\max } }}{{1 + \left( {\frac{{TVA}}{{K_{\rm P} }}} \right)^n }}$$\end{document} and kinetic inhibition constants for each initial TRS concentration studied were estimated.
